Copywriting vs Content Writing

Amay Web Design offers both content writing and copywriting services. Does this leave you confused? They are the same thing, aren’t they?

In some ways, the answer is yes, they are both writing text, and are used for online and offline content. In actual fact, the truth is, they are very different. There are similarities in the two skill sets, but there are also some clear differences, too. The key difference between copywriting and content writing is its purpose.In a nutshell, content writing is to tell, copywriting is to sell.

What is Copywriting?
